The place spans from the fertile reclaimed land bordering the ‘Lake of Massaciuccoli’ to the hill that faces onto the sea front in between Camaiore and Massarosa.

The main historical building plus barn and stables have been expensively renovated to a very high standard and now offer five elegant apartments, two on each floor (there is a lift) plus an independent house.

About Olivi Rita

My name is Rita. I am 64 and my husband Romano is 68.

We live in Viareggio at about 300m from the district Marco Polo. We love this town very much for its beautiful sea and clean air and especially for the possibility of enjoing the sweet atmosphere offered by the wonderful promenade. We like to walk or to go by byke very early in the morning along the promenade to taste the silence of the first hours of the day. I met my husband in Viareggio at school, then we got married in the year 1974, we have two sons, Riccardo and Renato who are now 38 and 31 years old. We bought this apartment in the year 2008.

Olivi Rita purchased this apartment in 2000

Why Olivi Rita chose Massarosa

We bought this property in 1965 because we wanted a place among nature where we could find relax and old traditions. The restoration of the old building took place in the year 2000. My husband and I often go with guests to the nearby hills where it is possible to admire wonderful panoramas and typical rural villages with very simple people. We use to leave very early in the morning to avoid heat and to enjoy peace and beautiful colours of the early hours.

What makes this apartment unique

When we are at the property we like to enjoy the smell of flowers and the green all around. Olive trees, cypress, and every kind of trees, lemon trees, oranges. We like to harvest olives in October and taste the extra virgin olive oil, very green and spicy on the "bruschette". We like to reach the beach of Viareggio in the morning and to stay at the pool in the afternoon. In this place there are several possibilities to spend a great holiday: famous Tuscan towns like Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Siena, walking, trips by boat to tje 5 Lands (5 Terre) or around the Massaciuccoli Lake, excursions to the Apuan Alps to the splendid Garfagnana Region. Everything is reachable in few time. We never get bored. We like also to go by bike to the nearby villages of Balbano, Massaciuccoli and Nozzano.

Notes on accommodation: The apartments offer spacious, high standard accommodation with the most impressive roof beams we have ever seen. Each apartment is furnished individually and attention has been paid to every detail. The ground of the estate are completely enclosed so that children can play and run in the garden with absolute security. There is a reception where guests can apply for information. Outside: The 12x6m shared pool (depth 0,95/2,20) open March/November, between 9-20 hours with chaises loungers and parasols, sunbeds, is situated next to the olive grove where guests can sit under the shade of trees and make use of the barbecue and pizza oven, tables and chairs. Outside shower. WC. Inside parking for two cars,- ping pong, slide, swing-basket, bikes at guests' disposal free of charges. The estate is set in a picturesque olive grow with its own swiftly flowing stream that has for centuries provided the power to operate the mill. For reason of safety the banks are now covered by a metal grill, so there is no danger of falling into the stream.

Very lovely stay, nice pool, lost to do/see in surroundings

After a warm welcome by the owners (Rita and her husband) we had a lovely stay in the apartment. It is very spacious and had everything you need for a holiday. The surrounding garden is lovely ( olive trees and citrus) and has a lot of shadow. Also nice swing for the kids and Table tennis. The pool is heaven. After a hot day and a visit of the surroundings ( lucca 20 minutes, Pisa 30 minutes, florenz 1h, mountains 45minutes, beach 20 minutes) it is very nice to have a swim. Also an entiry day at the pool is very pleasant. There is a bbq and pizza oven in the garden, and fun to use with other guests. Area is very safe with children (ours 4/6 years), because everything is surroundend by a fence/trees. We had a lovely stay. It was heaven on earth.

The Versilia territory covers an area of about 160sqkm on the North-Western Tuscan coast. It is a part of the province of Lucca, including the municipalities of Camaiore, Forte dei Marmi, Massarosa, Pietrasanta, Seravezza, Stazzema and Viareggio. Versilia boats 20 km of interrupted sandy shore from Torre del Lago Puccini and Forte dei Marmi and vast green spaces of pine woods. From our property it takes about half an hour to reach the beach of Viareggio.

The area is an important base to reach major Tuscan art cities in a reasonably short time. From a naturalistic point of view, the area is well known for safeguarding the environment with a rich diversified natural landscape comprising the majestic mountains of the Apuan Alps - offering a magnificent backdrop to the colourful coastline - consisting in some of the highest peaks in the region. The Apuan Alps Regional Park provides an ideal environment for trekking, walking, cycling, horse riding or mountain climbing. This is ideal for people of all ages and families and can be enjoyed the whole year round.

Massarosa is located at the foot of the hills. It consists of Lake Massaciuccoli, cherished and celebrated by the famous composer Giacomo Puccini, as well as a hilly area cultivated with vineyards and olive groves which, along with the home cooking of its restaurants, makes it a haven of peace, ideal to spend an afternoon away from the bustling life at the beach. In the magnificent scenery of Lake Massaciuccoli - one of the places most dear to Puccini and source of constant inspiration to him- every summer the Maestro's most famous operas are performed at the open air theatre with an extensive programme of events.

Viareggio is the largest municipality in Versilia, famous for the wonderful beach and the Carnival. A wide choice of sports is available, from swimming to playing tennis or golfing, hiking, horseback riding, sailing and windsurfing. Moreover, you can enjoy sea and lake tours with a wide range of destinations. Viareggio boats an efficient tourist port containing 500 boats. Viareggio's shipyards are famous all over the world, especially for yachts. There are also pubs, discos, cafés, restaurants, pisserie and beautiful shops and bouitiques along the ‘Passeggiata’ (Promenade along the sea).
